Personally, I think that we are in the midst of a 5 year cycle of weather patterns and that we'll even off again in another 3 years or so. I have a feeling that this year will be a more severe year for weather, but that should be changing back again to more normal and less severe actions by approximately December of this year or so.
I think that California can expect more storms, more rain until late summer, with a break in August of this year, then more rain from September through December and finally clearing in the beginning of 2006. Florida....Sorry, but expect 4 hurricanes this year to be a nuisance for you guys. Eastern Seaboard.....you guys might also be hit by at least one major hurricane that causes intense problems. A couple of others may just skirt the coast, giving you guys a bit of a headache. Further North along the eastern coast....I feel that you guys are going to be cool longer than usual this year. Kind of a pain in the butt, but expect some hotter temps in August of this year than last. Maritimes and BC in Canada....you're going to have some nice weather this summer! BC can expect a bit higher a rainfall amount than usual, but still very nice. As for Middle America and Mid-Canada....ups and downs. Stretches of nice, warm, comfortable to chilly and wetter than usual. UK....mostly normal for you guys, but a little bit on the cooler side than normal. Those "Down Under".....your winter this year is going to be a bit surprising in so far as whacky weather is concerned. Makes one scratch their heads, asking if it'll ever end! LOL
